Former Big Brother Naija (BBN) Housemate and Nollywood actress, Bamike Olawunmi-Adenibuyan, popularly known as BamBam, has shared her recent encounter with a Nigerian police officer who stopped her.
The BBNaija star took to X to narrate how she was forced to get out of her car, she described it as "inappropriate and forceful". And the policeman also asked her to show him "love" (meaning to give him money).
She added that citizens should feel safe, not uncomfortable at the sight of police officers.
She wrote: "Just wrapped up from a movie set, heading home, and Nigerian police stopped us for no reason, forced us to step down only to start begging for money. What kind of nonsense is this? If we refused, what would they have done?
"He was a bit inappropriate and forceful. I came down and greeted him, he asked if I was okay, and I said I was fine just tired. He said “Show me love now” he could have asked from the car window, but my assistant and I were down, we couldn’t drive off so I was forced to give something.''
BamBam said, that asking and demanding are two different things, feeling entitled about your money and tipping because they were respectful and actually doing their job are two different things.
Recall that BamBam was featured in the movie ''Love in Every Word'', which has been trending across the media and has had views across Africa.
